Most London venues such as the Vic allow you to say anything you want.
I'd love to get a game in down that there London... I used to be down there all the time... but now I got little sprogs, I'm tied to my local area mostly... I hear the Vic is a fantastic crack.
I checked out the Jamie Gold issues.. it seems that he broke the rules on two occassions namely saying 'top top' and exposing one of his cards to get a reaction.
But... the regulators didnt mention the loads of times, he would say specific strength of hands... eg... you got me bluffing.. etc.. or famously the last hand where he has a Queen paired on the flop against Wasicka's 10 10 - when he shoves and Wasicka is thinking about it.. he knows he can't be beating a pair of queens and literally tells him this... he says 'if you haven't got a queen I've got you' - and yet
this isn't an infringement?
He famously stated after the event that all the way through he told the truth about his hands... when he had it he said so.. and if he was bluffing he said so... and yet the regulators only picked up on two minor points. Confused.
Gonna go check out the Vic's schedule and see if I can get a day away
